Fact: Now is the time to get serious about purchasing SW Florida real estate. The prices continue to rise while the inventory shrinks. We do expect the baby boomers to come in full force over the next several years that will help drive demand even more. Remember that South Florida is the only subtropical area in the continental U.S. which is very limited considering that the affluent buyers from Canada, the U.S., Western Europe and South and Central America feed into it. Don’t miss your chance.

We were extremely fortunate to have Ken O'Brian represent our interests. He is a true professional in every sense of the word.

He was extremely knowledgeable and able to quickly bring us up to speed on the evolving market as well as the and pros and cons of various properties. At no point did we feel any pressure to purchase. Nothing was too much trouble for Ken, and ultimately, we felt that we were under the advisement of a trusted friend.

Peter and Catherine Ontario, Canada

"Right from the start, Ken provided a level of professional expertise and support that we didn't find anywhere else. Buying foreign property can be a daunting experience, but we were impressed by the level of support we received in all aspects of the buying process from property selection to legal advice. We would highly recommend Ken to anyone with an interest in property ownership in Southwest Florida."

Brad and Stephanie Ontario and Saskatchewan, Canada

With the help of Mr. Ken O’Brian of Southwest Coast Realty, Inc., Naples Fl. we recently purchased a new home in Ft. Myers as our future vacation property. Given we are from out of state and country, our reliance on Ken was critical. We had scant knowledge of the area and Ken quickly educated us on the suitability of location versus our lifestyle, budget and resale value.
Doing business with Ken by remote proved easy and effective as most of the work was done by internet in between 3 visits. He also helped with inspections for added piece of mind. With patience, Ken professionally guided us to a successful real estate deal and we have no hesitation in recommending his services in this part of the world.

Soumaya and Mark Ontario, Canada

Dear Ken,
Me and my wife want to thank you for your great work in our recent close in Naples, your professionalism is undoubtedly indisputable, finding you as a broker on the Internet, was probably the best thing, for our home vacation project in Southwest Florida.

Andre & Lynn Quebec, Canada

We found Ken's services through the internet and upon our first meeting were impressed with his level of professionalism and sincerity. As we were not familiar with the Naples area, Ken's approach of providing a broad spectrum of properties and allowing us to come to our own conclusions made us feel at ease with the buying process. In addition, he was very responsive to our requests, both pre and post sales contract. We would recommend his services for anyone purchasing a vacation home.

Daiva & Mark Ontario, Canada

Buying and furnishing a home in your own area is considered to be one of the most stressful events of your life. You would imagine that buying and furnishing a home in a different country has to rank as more stressful. What we received was the ultimate turnkey purchasing experience. We would highly recommend Ken to anyone considering buying real estate in southwest Florida.

Andy and Suzanne Ontario, Canada

Ken, I just wanted to say thank you for helping us find a vacation home in Naples. Our trust in you was very well placed. We were a little nervous about the process of buying a home in Florida, but you guided us through the whole process. You took the time to explain the area to us, and helped us match our requirements to what the various communities had to offer. Your patience while we kept asking for listings was appreciated. When we had our choices narrowed and we came down to Naples, your insights on setting our offer price let us get the place we wanted at a good price. Even on the closing day, you found a small issue, highlighted it to our lawyer and got the problem immediately resolved. End to end it was a great experience, and I would heartily recommend South West Coast Realty to not only other Canadians looking for a vacation home, but to anyone looking for a home in South West Florida.
Thanks again.
